It would be easy to miss Nzuko if you were just driving by, but you shouldn't. We stopped in on a whim on a random Sunday and are very glad we did.First thing to know, Yelp might take you to a close, but wrong address. So unless you want to make some random friends with people at an apartment complex you may want to just look it up in Google maps.Second thing to know, you can park in the lot and the parking garage next to the restaurant. The spaces are numbered which made us think they are reserved, but they are not. The list of times I'm wrong seems to never end which I was reminded of on the long, unnecessary, walk back to the car.When you walk through the door you are greeted by a cool, chic vibe. Looking for a good place for a date night, this is it.We looked at the drink menu and trepidatiously ordered a cucumber and Hibiscus cocktail. I was afraid they would be over sweet and taste fake. The list of times I am wrong grew again. The drinks were fabulous. Refreshing and not overly sweet. A perfect sipper on a hot summer day.Many of the dishes are sharable. We got the vegetarian delight platter which came with 4 large falafels, pita bread, an assortment of hummus, or whatever the correct pluralization is (hummuses, humussi?), Grape leaves, olives, and plantains. It easily served 2 people.The falafel was moist, a nice departure from many others we've had, and packed with flavor. The grape leaves had a bright lemon zest to them and the hummus/hummuses we're delicious. The icing on top was the plantain.The owner came out to talk to us and is an incredibly interesting, sweet, and kind person. I would eat there again just for the chance to talk to her.We left Nzuko happy and full. I'd highly recommend it.
Really enjoyed this restaurant - it has a good mix of Mediterranean and Caribbean flavors and a variety of dishes! It’s also owned by a local family and I always like to support local/small businesses. The atmosphere and ambience was lovely, not too loud and really pretty decor. The service was good, employees were friendly. Will definitely be going back soon!
The chicken kebab was out of this world, so tasty that I ordered two more right after eating. 10/10 food all around, my girlfriend had the ginger and garlic salmon and said she’d never order salmon at another restaurant again since this was so good.
Best tasting food you're going to get anywhere near here. The food is thoughtfully prepared and the flavors are delightful. Owner and staff are welcoming and friendly. Sunlit inside is cozy and inviting.
The food was delicious and our server was great! We had the Mediterranean platter and conch fritters. Everything was really fresh and flavorful and the portions were large. I would definitely come back here.
Super interesting food. Excellent service. Manager Khaldoon was very helpful explaining the different dishes. Abundant servings- fresh, healthy and flavorful.A must try!
The food had nice flavor and the staff was warm and welcoming. We got the conch fritters, falafel, and I got the Nzuko chicken which tasted great. The rice that came with it was wonderfully seasoned! Key lime pie was very refreshing. Portions were very large and we left full and happy!
Ordered a jerk chicken and chicken kabob dinner and realized price here is significantly higher than the Framingham location. The bill was $55 just two dinner platters. I’m all for paying for quality food and I really wanted to like this place and give a good review. However the chicken was not fresh unless it was just overcooked. Jerk chicken was tasty but some parts of it was dried up like jerky. The kabob was a lot dryer and I hate a hard time downing it. The positives were the rice that it came with it was nicely seasoned and flavorful.
I went to Nzukos last night with my friend, I had Salmon, mushroom rice and plantains and veggies; my friend had jerk chicken and rice and beans. The food was amazing, portions are huge and the mushroom rice was the best rice I've ever eaten! The jerk chicken was very spicy but good and authentic. The waiter was attentive and the atmosphere was nice. I will definitely go again.
Nice and cozy spot. Very attentive waiter, and food was delicious. We had the chicken jerk (Spicy) and lamb chank. We will definitely be visiting again.
